How did you have the disk layout with Mandrake? You can always use the same partitions as Mandrake, therefor swap is still swap and the root partition is still a valid linux partition. You just need to know what they are. Here is my disk layout, I have 3 partitions with different roots, 1 /boot, 1 swap, 1 backup, and 1 home. But you should get the idea.

The use of hdparm is to modify how the disk is accessed. Do you want to turn on DMA access that sort of thing, hdparm affects the entire disk not a partition on the disk. An example of hdparm output is as follows: root# hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: ~ multcount= 16 (on) ~ IO_support = 1 (32-bit) ~ unmaskirq= 1 (on) ~ using_dma= 1 (on) ~ keepsettings = 0 (off) ~ readonly = 0 (off) ~ readahead= 256 (on) ~ geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 80026361856, start = 0 If you can show us how your disk layout is, we might be able to see what is going on. HTH Mike Hi Mike, I used the graphical tool that Mandrake uses upon installation. The reason I was trying to use hdparm (which wasn't seeing any of my partitions), was just to be able to do the installation while following the directions as closely as possible. Even though I've been using linux (almost exclusively Mandrake) for several years, lot of the stuff that I read here goes right over my head, so I want to do the install as close as possible to the directions just to keep the chance of error as low as possible...at least the first time. The layout I have on this hd is very simple - I'd usually have quite a few more partitions, but this is a brand new hd, and I just threw Mandrake on in its most basic configuration just to have something on there - in fact, I don't think there is even a swap partition, just / and /home. But the thing that concerns me, is when I hit p to show the partition layout ... it's as if there's nothing there at all. peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Running portage snippets under slack?
Hi, I'm pretty new to the Gentoo Linux, but I've managed to get a working system. Gentoo was built neatly under a Slackware xterm. Nice title bar. In fact I use cron jobs under Slackware to record TV shows when I'm at work so this thrilled me no end. I'm stuck without internet at home but I use the DVD that came with Linux Format nr 58. I was actually able to do a 'emerge --pretend --verbose kde', copy the screen echo and take it to a machine with ample bandwidth to fetch the missing files. Worked wonders. While doing this I was inspired to try build some of the portage packages for Slackware such as Festival and other packages which aren't ready for Slackware. Before I'm yelled at I will not forward bug reports to the portage maintainers if this doesn't work. Just how does an ebuild work, would it be easy to make a bash scipt which Slackware already use for building packages? For a real Gentoo issue I'm depending on the 2.6 kernel and used the bootstrap-26 script and built the 2.6 kernel. After this ordeal I was still not rewarded with any bttv drivers. Now can I rectify the .config and still use 'genkernel' or should I install the kernel as I do in every distro? And why are they disabled in the kernel, is it endorsed to build the driver from bytesex.org?

I was very happy with Mandrake up to v8.x, but since 9.0, there have been a couple things that have bothered me about it enough to make the switch. Now, for some time I've used the same partition table, which is: / 797 MB ReiserFS /swap 250 MB /usr 4.8 G ReiserFS /usr/local 1.9 G ReiserFS /var 996 MB ReiserFS /home 10G ReiserFS /mnt/media 31 G ReiserFS /mnt/arc 6.4 G ReiserFS In reading over the Gentoo Handbook Installation Instructions, I saw something about how /var should be bigger in a Gentoo system, but I can't find that part today...any recommendations? -- peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

OpenOffice, for example requires c. 2,7 GB for it's temporary files. However, IMHO there's really no need to allocate huge amounts of space for /var. Portage needs the space only when it installs something and after the installation you can safely delete everything in /var/tmp/portage. For example I have only 5 GB for / (2 BG of which is currently free) and the rest 15 GB in /home. When I need to install something big, I just mount the home partition in /var/tmp/portage and thus have extra space for the temp files. (I also mount /usr/portage/distfiles (which stores the downloaded sources) in the bigger partition) So, I'd say that 1 GB for /var should be enough. You won't need to remount it with every small installation, and you won't have too much unusable hard drive space in there.

Re: [gentoo-user] Opinions on Gentoo
On Friday 28 February 2003 22:27, Daniel Carrera wrote: Hello, I am thinking of using Gentoo, and I have a few questions. I figure that this is the best place to ask. If anyone can answer any of these questions, I would really appreciate it. 1) How complete is the set of ebuilds? For reference: I consider Mandrake and RedHat to be fairly complete distributions. They carry most of what anyone would want. Haven't missed anything yet. (Coming from SuSE) 2) How quickly do ebuilds follow new code releases? Will I always be stuck a version behind or will I be able to try out new stuff soon after it comes out? Very quickly, e.g. Xfree 4.3 is already there but masked unstable. You can still emerge it if you want to. 3) One thing I like about Debian's apt-get is that once you have Debian installed, you can upgrade to new versions without having to reinstall. This is in contrast to RPM distros. If I have RedHat 7.3, the best way to move to 8.0 is to backup my data, wipe the disk and reinstall. Is Gentoo like Debian in this respect? Easy, there is no need to wait for release-numbers of Gentoo, you can easily be up2date whenever you want. 4) How easy is it to create my own ebuilds? I often like to install from source, but I'd like to keep the benefits of package management. Haven't tried my own. There are docs and they are usually superb. 5) Is Gentoo really that much faster? Will it make a greater difference on an old computer (think P133) or on a new computer (think Athlon XP/MP)? I noticed a remarkable speedup on my box (Celeron 466Mhz 320 MB Ram) compared to SuSE on the same machine. I wouldn't want it on a slow box though. (like a Pentium1) Thanks for the help. I am very interested in Gentoo, and any information would be much appreciated. Another thing to consider is the support You get from the community.
